MORNING

Hemdal was training with his sword alone in the forest as he place down the golden arrow and bow somewhere close to him. As Hemdal trained, he suddenly felt the presence of someone peeping at him from a tree but Hemdal pretend not to mind that person and continue training. As Hemdal continue to train, he was also looking at the person with side eyes. Hemdal make a move and suddenly threw his sword toward the tree the person was hiding and peeping from, and the sword thrust into the tree. Hemdal did that thinking the person will get scared and come out of hiding but the person didn't then Hemdal went toward the tree to check on the person thinking the person was still hiding behind the tree.

Upon getting to the tree, Hemdal was surprised to see no one behind then he remove his sword from the tree. Just as Hemdal turn back to go back to his training, Hemdal saw a lady around his age holding his golden bow and arrow which startled Hemdal. The lady said to Hemdal ''it has been long since have set my eyes on these'', as she checked out the golden bow and arrow.

Hemdal asked the lady ''who are you?''.

''Do you know this bow and arrow is way older than you than you could ever think of?'' the lady asked Hemdal.

''I don't want any trouble, lady. Just give me my bow and arrow then you can be on your way'' said Hemdal to the lady.

''I see the way you fought. You fought well and that kind of makes me like you. You see, ever since I have been born I have always done whatever I like and no one has ever bossed me around or made me do things I never wanted to do before... And you just tell me what to do which I don't like'' said the lady.

''I don't know you and I don't care about whatever it is you just said, just give me what is mine'' said Hemdal.

''Just because I said I like you doesn't mean you are special. And you should know the bow and arrow belongs to one of my old friends. If you want the bow and arrow, you are gonna have to fight for it. Beat me and you get the bow and arrow'' said the lady.

Hemdal laughed hearing what the lady said while the lady wondered why Hemdal laughed then she asked Hemdal ''what so funny?''.

''You are so funny'' said Hemdal, still laughing.

Hearing that made the lady annoyed then she ran toward Hemdal. Hemdal was surprised that just in a blink of an eye the lady was right in front of him and her fist came toward his face very fast to hit his face but Hemdal was fast enough to dodge the lady's fist and stepped away (backward) from her. Hemdal said to the lady ''I don't want to fight you, lady, let's not drag this. You can go on your way now'', as the lady smile.

''The only way out is if you fight me. So you won't think it is unfair, I won't use my powers. Just a fair fight'' said the lady, as she walked toward Hemdal, and Hemdal walked backward.

Hemdal thrust his sword into the ground and said to the lady ''if that is what you want it's okay. But don't blame me when I hurt you or made you cry''.

The lady laughed and said to Hemdal ''in your dream'', then the lady attacked Hemdal.

Hemdal was expecting the lady to seriously fight him but was surprised that the lady was romantically fighting him, locking eyes with him, getting close to him, and getting his hands and that of hers around their bodies. Even though the lady was romantically fighting Hemdal, Hemdal was unable to beat the lady and that made him realize that the lady is a better martial art fighter than him but the lady did something shocking to Hemdal. As they fought, the lady picked up Hemdal's sword and use an offensive move to hand the sword over to Hemdal.

Hemdal looked at the sword in his hand and look at the lady who was smiling and uses her hand to signify that Hemdal to attacked her. Hemdal didn't want to lose to the mysterious lady so he attacked her with his sword. Even with him using his sword to fight, Hemdal was unable to beat the lady and the lady was still fighting him romantically which made Hemdal feel useless and naive in swordsmanship and martial art.

When the lady felt like she had had enough of the fight, she kicked Hemdal in his legs making him fall to the ground with his sword. Hemdal sit up on the ground and smiled looking at the lady who was also smiling. Hemdal said with a smile to the lady ''I don't know who you are but you sure as hell can't be a human''.

''Really?'' said the lady.

''Yeah. Have never seen a human that can fight like that. If you could fight like that without the intention to hurt who you are fighting against I wondered what will happen to the person you will fight against to kill'' said Hemdal with a smile.

''I knew you were not a match against me but I just wanted to have fun. You are not that bad'' said the lady, and stretched her right hand forward to help Hemdal up.

Hemdal took the lady's hand and she helped Hemdal up, as they both smile then Hemdal asked the lady ''what is your name?''.

The lady smiled and said to Hemdal ''Can't tell you that but we will meet again'', just then Hemdal heard footsteps approaching them and look back to see who it might be and then saw it was the guards of the shapeshifters patrolling the forest.

Hemdal looked front but was surprised to no longer see the lady. Hemdal looked around for the lady in the forest but couldn't see her.

Hemdal returned to the house with his sword and golden bow and arrow thinking about the lady she met in the forest. Hemdal entered the house and met the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Ryn, Benjamin, and Nelson waiting for him at the dining table ready to eat. Hawk asked Hemdal ''where have you been, Hemdal?''.

''Training to get better'' said Hemdal.

''We are about to have breakfast but we are waiting for you. We have new clothes waiting for you in your room. Get change and come join us'' said Ryn to Hemdal.

''Thanks for your hospitality. But can I ask a question?'' Hemdal asked Ryn.

''Sure'' said Ryn.

''Who is the best person skilled in swordsmanship and martial art in this town?'' Hemdal asked Ryn.

Everyone at the dining table was surprised by that question then Ryn said to Hemdal ''that will be Nelson because he loves swords and martial art than his shapeshift form. Is anything wrong?''.

''Nothing'' said Hemdal, and left to his room while the others wondered why Hemdal asked such a question.

Hemdal had a change of clothes, dropped his weapons, and joined the others at the dining table then they all eat together.

After they were all done having breakfast, they all sat down in the living room to talk. Nelson said to the princes, the princesses, and Hemdal ''let's start with who is unconscious inside the room''.

''That will be our infamous Sa'er I told you about'' said Benjamin to Nelson.

Ryn was surprised to hear that a Sa'er exist in this lifetime. Ryn asked everyone ''so you mean a Sa'er exist in this lifetime after years of their extinction and the death of Anna? Why is she also unconscious?''.

''She fell unconscious when Marcelos used her blood to wake himself up, and since then she decided to remain unconscious'' said prince Redrick.

''She said she needed to find a way we can end Marcelos'' said Noah.

''That is good to hear. Let's hope she finds out how to end Marcelos'' said Hawk.

''Now that we know who she is, and that we have united ourselves I think it is time you all learn and know our rules'' said Nelson said the princes, the princesses, and Hemdal.

Nelson explain the rules and regulations of the shapeshifters to them and the princes, the princesses, and Hemdal agreed to them. Noah also said to Nelson ''If it is okay with you I want Hemdal to be in charge of raising an/our army here and he will be in charge of training them. That way we can both share the tactic of battle''.

''That is okay'' said Nelson.

''Our people will also help your people in anything they do so it won't seems that your people are the ones working while ours is the one eating. That way we can once again learn from each other'' said Hemdal to Nelson.

''That is a great idea. Then we can all go back to the way we once were'' said Benjamin with a smile.

''We also will be happy to help with anything'' said prince Mike.

''What about her? What are we going to do about her when she arrived?'' princess Tracy asked.

''My sister loves a grand entrance when she is arriving and love to be welcome so she will let us know when she is close. Once she let us know that she is close, we will have to hide the humans and uncle will have to make himself known that he is alive and talk to her'' said Nelson.

''Don't you all think maybe she might have changed after all this while?'' said princess Kylie.

Benjamin, Ryn, and Nelson laughed hearing that then Ryn said ''she can never change''.

''I guess we won't have any problem working with each other then. But before that I will like to know about each one of you'' said Nelson to the princes, the princesses, and Hemdal.

Lilia already regains consciousness and she and Ramsay were now carrying their things as she now journeys with the others through the portal to keep them safe from Philip and the 3 Marcs. Lilia, princess Esther, and Ramsay all came out of the portal to see a town surrounded by forests at a far distance from them. Immediately after the portal close back, princess Esther said to Ramsay ''That is where the others are''.

Ramsay was surprised to hear that and asked princess Esther ''in a town?''.

''Yeah'' said princess Esther.

''Doing what?'' Ramsay asked princess Esther, then Lilia asked Ramsay ''are they in that town?''.

''Let me talk to you later please'' said Ramsay to Lilia, then princess Esther said to Ramsay ''that is where they took shelter with the people''.

''But that town is not safe'' said Ramsay to princess Esther.

''It is for now. Let's get going or you can just go another way that you think is safer'' said princess Esther, and began to walk forward.

Ramsay looked at Lilia and said to her ''the town it is. That is where the others are'', then Ramsay and Lilia joined princess Esther and they walked toward the town.

Upon getting to the gate of the Shape Town 2, princess Esther said to Ramsay ''behave well'', then disappeared.

Ramsay got surprised as princess Esther disappeared and said ''what the fuck is wrong is with you? How could you just leave like that? Come back here right now''.

Hearing what Ramsay said, Lilia asked Ramsay ''is she gone?''.

''She is'' said Ramsay, just then they heard someone's voice that asked them who they are.

Ramsay and Lilia looked in the direction of the voice and saw the two guards in each of the two towers at the gate with their arrows fixed to their bows pointed toward him and Lilia. Ramsay said to the guards ''am here to see whosoever lord over this place''.

''You need to tell us who you are before we can let you in'' said 2nd guard to Ramsay.

''I can't tell you that, just let us in'' said Ramsay to the guards.

''I would advise you to turn back and leave if you love yourselves'' said 1st guard to Ramsay.

''Why don't we just tell them who we are'' said Lilia to Ramsay.

''Just merely looking at them I realize who they are. They are not humans but shapeshifters'' said Ramsay to Lilia.

''What are shapeshifters?'' Lilia asked Ramsay.

''You will find out in a short while. The shapeshifters are also known to be very well at gathering information unless they want to pretend that they don't know anything. If we tell them our names, they will know we work for Marcelos and will send down an army here to kill us and we will never get to meet the others'' said Ramsay to Lilia.

''Then what should we do?'' Lilia asked Ramsay.

''I will try to get the gate opened'' said Ramsay to Lilia, and gave his swords and things to Lilia.

Ramsay looked at the guards then he suddenly hit them away from the towers with a magical force. The guards hit the ground unconscious inside the gate then the gate was opened. As the gate was opened, Ramsay and Lilia saw ten guards running toward them then Ramsay said with a smile to Lilia ''I will take care of them all, love''.

Ramsay fought the ten guards with his bare hands and beat them all even though they fought him with their swords. When the ten guards got tired of being beaten by Ramsay, they all changed into bears form to fight Ramsay, while Lilia became shocked seeing them turned into bears. As the guards changed into bears, Ramsay said to himself ''That is more like it'', and the guards attacked him.

Nelson, the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Benjamin, Hemdal, and Ryn were inside talking and laughing when the head guard suddenly came in and said to Nelson and Benjamin ''We have an intruder that is attacking our guards right now''.

Hearing that, Nelson stood up and took his sword then he, the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Hemdal, Benjamin, Ryn, and the head guard went outside to go check on who the intruder was. Upon coming out of the house, they all saw a lady. Benjamin, Nelson, Ryn, and Hawk were scared and worried upon seeing the lady, and Hemdal was surprised to see the lady while the lady was shocked staring at Hawk. The princes, the princesses, and Hemdal noticed the facial expression of Hawk, Benjamin, Ryn, and Nelson tells they are scared, then prince Kinsley asked who the lady was and Ryn said ''that is Nelson's elder sister". Fear gripped everyone.
